redrew my favorite panel of tales through time, a woman who taught andy a better way to strap it up! [ID: A redraw of a scene from the comic the old guard: tales through time. The characters Lykon, Andy and Quynh are depicted in their movie version. They are sitting around a fire, Lykon has a cup in one hand and is eating something. Andy and Quynh are holding a steel labrys, Quynh has the hilt tucked under one arm and is binding it in leather, she and Andy are looking at each other lovingly. End ID.]

Andromache the Scythian is the woman portrayed in the Liberty Leading the People by Eugene Délacroix.

She doesn't look quite like hers because the fray was chaotic, but she was there, titties out and all.

This painting is also on the cover of the first history book Quynh buys to pick up on what she lost.

“I play an immortal character in The Old Guard with Charlize Theron.

My character just appears for probably two minutes, but I trained a lot for that character. I trained for all the action and delivered my best of the best; not just one hundred, but two hundred.

I’m really excited of the movie and it came out, and I just realized that they pulled me all the way from Vietnam to London and shot all these things for three months,

and I appeared for one minute on screen, and then they drowned me in the freaking ocean for five hundred years—that’s the interesting part of the character.

But the thing is, it kind of payoff because I appeared at the very last scene that is leading us to a sequel, which I hope there will be a sequel. Otherwise, it’s gonna be just one minute. So if you guys likes the movie and comments about Quynh, I’ll have a chance to go back and give more about Quynh— the very first Vietnamese character from a big hollywood project.”
